************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

The .NET virtual machine died. No idea why. Were you logging in with the launcher or through the website? I know the stand-alone launcher is written in C# but I'm not so sure about the patcher. It uses the .NET framework for whatever it is.

EDIT: It'd help if I'd actually read the message. The debugger is saying that the file "C:\Program Files\Tulga Games\Horizons\Launcher\LauncherPrefs.lopt" is already being used by another program. Easiest fix is to reboot your computer.

Hmmm nope still borked


Eat pie word limit

Did you reboot? Are you still getting the same "already in use" error?

If so, try taking that .lopt file and put it somewhere else to see if the launcher will re-create it when you run. You'll probably have to re-enter your email/password (if you have them saved) but that might get it to work.
